"Because I don't know what your mother does, Lele, I can't guarantee it." Yuan Zhou thought for a moment and replied, "But I will try to help ask. Lele, what do you think?"
"For the specific situation, I have to find the young man to understand. I can't make a mistake. Lele is only three years old. If he is a little older, it won't be so troublesome." Yuan Zhou pondered in his heart. Of course, he hoped that the faraway place that Lele said was really a business trip.
According to Lele's description, this possibility was very small. Yuan Zhou couldn't think of anyone who couldn't be contacted for ten days at work.
"Really? That's great!" Lele saw that Yuan Zhou didn't answer for a long time and thought that the powerful uncle was not willing to help. Tears welled up in his eyes.
If it weren't for his mother saying that he was already a little man and shouldn't cry casually, Lele would have already cried.
"Then Uncle Yuan, you must help me ask. But if Mom is really busy, she doesn't have to come back so soon. Lele will be very good." Lele was originally very happy, but he suddenly seemed to think of something and quickly changed the topic.
"As long as it's not too long, not that long."
The white and tender little face frowned. Obviously, Lele was extremely unwilling to make this decision, but he still made up his mind.
"Why don't you let Mom come back again?" Yuan Zhou's heart was slightly touched.
"Because … because in fact, Mom secretly told Lele that she would be very busy in the future and wouldn't have time to accompany Lele. Lele must be strong because Lele has grown up and is a big child." Lele twisted the corner of his clothes and pursed his lips before continuing, "Now Lele really misses Mom too much. I haven't seen Mom for so long. I'm a little not used to it, but Lele must have grown up. I don't want Mom to be unhappy."
Lele raised his small chest that hadn't grown up yet, as if it would really grow up.
"En, Uncle Yuan, I remember. I will definitely ask clearly. Don't worry." Yuan Zhou solemnly promised.
"That's great. Thank you, Uncle Yuan. I believe that Uncle Yuan can definitely do it. Dad said that Uncle Yuan is the best. This is my thank you gift."
Lele stretched out her small white hand and opened her palm. There was a liquor-core chocolate lying quietly on it. It had a brown packaging and was in the shape of a pagoda. There was still some sweat on it. At first glance, it was obvious that Lele held it very tightly.
Yuan Zhou could tell that Lele was reluctant, so he deliberately asked, "Only one?"
Lele frowned and didn't seem to react. After a long time, she said reluctantly, "Mom bought this for Lele. Lele ate it too fast before, so there's only one left. Originally, I wanted to keep it until Mom came back to eat it, but it's better to give it to Uncle Yuan."
As he said this, he opened his other hand, and in his palm was an identical piece of liquor-core chocolate, which was also dripping with sweat.
"No need. Uncle's teeth have cavities, so he can't eat candy. Moreover, Lele should keep the things that Mom left for Lele, right? Lele, help Uncle to pick up these pieces of skin and put them in that small frame, okay?" Yuan Zhou pointed at some pieces of skin that fell on the ground and said.
"No problem. Lele is very capable." Lele was relieved and said proudly.
Probably because of his excellent upbringing, Lele was still very neat even though he was young. Soon, he picked up the pieces of skin and put them away. He looked at Yuan Zhou with a face that was asking for praise.
"Lele is great. You go back first. When there is news about your mother, I will tell you, okay?" Yuan Zhou thought that Lele had been out alone for ten minutes, so he was afraid that his family would look for him.
"Then I will go back first. Otherwise, Dad will be worried. Uncle Yuan, please help me." Lele said like an adult and walked toward the end of the street.
Yuan Zhou immediately stood up and followed behind. He watched Lele wait for the green light to turn green before crossing the road. He kept repeating the words, "Red light, stop, green light, go. When the yellow light is on, wait." He was probably afraid that he would forget it, so he kept repeating it when crossing the road.
Seeing Lele safely cross the road and directly enter the building on the side of the street, Yuan Zhou was relieved and walked back.
"This matter is not easy to handle. Let's see if I can meet his father first." Yuan Zhou muttered and returned to The Kitchen God.
Since the day Lele came to find Yuan Zhou, Yuan Zhou had changed his free time to practicing his knife skills. In this way, he could not only practice his knife skills but also see if he could meet the young man outside.
Although Yuan Zhou had seen the young man, he really didn't know the young man's surname, where he lived, and his phone number. He could only use this stupid method to wait for the young man.
Unfortunately, he didn't meet the young man for five days in a row. Yuan Zhou was a little anxious. He was afraid that when Lele came again, he wouldn't know how to answer.
In the early morning, Yuan Zhou inevitably slowed down when he was eating the noodles. He seemed to be thinking about something.
"Boss Yuan, is there something on your mind today?" The boss looked at him and asked with concern.
The boss of the noodle house was also an old neighbor. Yuan Zhou pondered for a while. Maybe the boss of the noodle house knew something.
"I met a child named Lele before. He seems to be only three years old. He is very sensible." Yuan Zhou thought for a while and said. He couldn't ask directly, so he planned to beat around the bush.
"Boss Yuan, are you talking about the child on the opposite street? He is really good. It's just that his mother had an accident at such a young age. Well …" The boss knew who Yuan Zhou was talking about as soon as he heard it. He sighed.
"Accident? Lele's mother is really … "Yuan Zhou frowned. He didn't expect it to be true.
"To be precise, it's not an accident. It's a terminal illness. It hasn't been long since the 27th. Speaking of which, it's a coincidence. Didn't I share the noodle house in my shop previously? His mother opened a small restaurant and joined in. Not long ago, she passed away, and the shop was closed. Only then did I know. I haven't seen the child, but I have seen her husband. He came in person to talk about the noodle house. He is a person who knows how to handle things," the boss said directly.
"I see," Yuan Zhou said thoughtfully.
After confirming again, he found that it was indeed the young man he knew. The last bit of luck in Yuan Zhou's heart was gone. This matter was difficult.
"System, you really don't have a medicinal diet?" Yuan Zhou asked again in his heart.
After a moment of silence, the system replied, "I'm sorry."
Yuan Zhou also calmed himself down and said in his heart, "It's not your fault. Things like terminal illnesses and accidents are too annoying."
The system displayed, "Doctors cure people's pain, misfortune and diseases while chefs cook to make people feel full and happy. The two have different meanings."
"Um, I got it." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and understood the system's comfort.
